A Pretty Story.
From the Queen.

From the Queen.
Miss Linwood had the privilege OF
copying any pictures i'll the gallery at
Belvoir Castle, the Duke and Duchess
OF Rutland being her kind and inti-
mate friends. 1t must have been
about 1924 Or 1926 that she had just
finished her copy of n precious land
scape by Il think) Poussin. when a
friend of the Dukes. a great connois-
seur, visited him and desired to see
this picture He came with the Duke
to Miss Linwaod's house for the pur-
pose, The landscape was brought i'll
to the room and carefully placed in a
good light. The art critic was delight
ed and voluble in his admiration, but
when he arose and approached for a
nearer view, Miss Linwood ordered "tht
other picture" to be fetched aud plac-
ed beside the first one, which was then
found to be her own work, SO perfect
were her limitations.
The Dowager Duchess Of Rutland
had been renowned beauty, as a
most lovely engraved portrait she
gave to Miss Linwood bore witness,
One day when her grace's little grand
daughter was with her, she, strokina
the pretty young cheek, exclaimed
with q sigh; "Ah my dear, what would
you not give to be as beautiful as ]
was?"
The young lady was equal to the
occasion, and, raising the fair ieweiled
old hand to her lips, replied. "Just
as much, grandmamma dear, as you
would to be as young as l am"

AS to Living in Unity.

The town OF Unity is picturesque
tract Of hill country in western New
Hampshire. A good old clergyman,
living in an adjoining town, was one
day called upon by a rural couple who
wished to be married. The proper
ceremony was duly performed, and
then the minister gave them some
fatherly exhorta.ion and advice
about their new course. "Now that
your lives are promised to each other
truly and unseltishly," said he, 81
hope nothing will disturb. them, but
that you will always live happily in
unity" "WalI, I DO know about
that, parson," objected the young
man, douhtfully; "we're married, as
you say, and l hope We'll get along
all right; but as for livin' in Unity, |

The Trade Of Last Week.

R. g. Dun & Co., in their weekly trade
Review OF the 21st say: The most import
ant news OF the week if confirmed is that
the interstate commerce commission will
revoke all temporary suspensions OF the
haul clause, terminating them July 1. The
revolution in business must therefore pro.
gress until it's full effects have been real
ized Some Of them are seen in the con-
tracts taken by the Canadian Pacific to
move eastward the wool crop OF California
and ten million pounds of sugar, and in
the marked revival Of shipments around
the Horn. Others appear in the decline OF
trade at the larger centers OF distribution
and manufacture, and an increase OF dis
tribution at smaller towns, with the up
springing of new manufacturing works at
many localities. Most OF the labor trou-
bles seem to grow out OF 81 narrowed field
for the distribution OF products. The re.
ports are still generally encouraging. with
no instance of unusual delay in collections.
Where business is deemed dull it is, in ev-
cry case, pronounced larger than at tho
same season last year.

Hereditary Influences.

DR.. Mays, superintendent of the Stockton
Insane asylum, California, says that one
third OF the population 1.-THE foreign born),

the proportion OF insane in California is not
tn excess ofthatin many ystates-about one
toevery $50 6Oinhabitants. The doctor thinks
that the prime causes ofinsanity are intem-
perance and neglect OF the laws OF health.

works it's most harm. One hall Of he insan

Arrest of the MARQUIS Dc MOrcs.

uel Grimshaw to the effect that, in his be.
lief, the marquis was about to leave the

sumers' Meat company, to obtain contro
of the retail butcher stores in New York,
and was to be paid in stock and made a
director OF the company. He alleges that
he carried out his part of the agreement,
